I think we should implore the DNC to have Whoopi as a primetime speaker. If they don't, it'll look as if the Dims are letting the VRWC shut down free speech.
All FReepers who have Democrat Sens and Reps should immediately email them expressing your concerns that Whoopi is not a convention speaker.
It's time your Dim reps in Congress support the First Amendment by making sure Whoopi gets to speak.
Mel Watt's and Senator Edwards' staff have heard my concerns about free speech and Whoopi. (I don't think they believed me, though!)
